CRISPR has always felt like the beginning of a Zombie movie to me. Not that I'm against science and progress. But we know so little about genomes at this point. I'm just waiting for something really bad to come of this... Definite

I agree regarding VB6. What are your thoughts about winforms? Seems pretty similar, no?

Do you have any plans to let affiliates sell these? I would love to offer this product to my audience.

Agree. Netflix should follow the Korean drama model if they know shows need to stop after a season or two. Almost every korean drama is a one season story arc, and they're some of the most watched shows in the world.

Wow! Just watched it. Agree. It is easier to track the dancers! I wonder if it has to do with the fact that our vision is color. Is there color data that the brain is using to process fast moving images that we lose in black and white? Mayb

I don't believe monopolies are illegal. It's using an advantage in one area to force concessions in an unrelated area that I believe is illegal. For example, Microsoft had an effective monopoly over PC operating systems. That was

Ok. But aren't KN95 masks and N95 effectively the same? There doesn't seem to be any shortage of KN95 masks. There are dozens of boxes of them at my local Lowe's. So, why is the nurse in this story wearing an N95 for weeks, i

What I love (sarcasm) is companies that just need basic line of business apps, but want you to complete a coding challenge navigating graphs and trees in constant, nlogn time, etc. I find it hilarious and often ask, "Can you explain to

Do you get tonsoliths? I had a similar pattern as you. But now, cleaning tonsoliths from my throat regularly helps reduce recurrence of infection.

Ok. Haha. That was my thought as well. $500k seems outlandish, not that some aren't making that, but who pays that... Maybe 1 in every 1,000 dev jobs can even approach $500k.

Who is making $500,000 per year as a developer? That seems outlandish. Edge case-ey. Outside of maybe quants, what type of developers are pulling that kind of income?

Microsoft's modus operandi is copy, defeat, repeat. It's a very profitable strategy, though perhaps less charismatic. Other companies do this too, but I've seen few tech companies as good at copy, defeat, repeat as Microsoft.
